Big River Grill and Brewing Works at Boardwalk

Has anyone ever eaten there? What can you tell me about it?

Just thinking of new places to try next trip and I can make my ADRS in about a month and a half!

Yes I love it there! We like to go there for lunch, not busy at all. We eat outside and enjoy the view!

I love the meatloaf Yes I said meatloaf! The beer is good too!

You can't make ADRs for Big River. It is a walk-up restaurant.

Re: Big River Grill and Brewing Works at Boardwalk

Try the ribs and go after Illuminations. You'll have better luck getting seated quickly. They seat until 11 PM, unlike most WDW eateries. I'm sure the micro brews are good, but I can't/don't drink so, I can't say.

Kim, we have wanted to try Big River for years but just never seem to make it. I've looked at the menu and it looks good but because we can't make ADRs we never seem to make it. I hope you try it, I would love to hear about it.

I just read in PassPorter last night that you can make ADRs 24 in advance. You can't do it with the rest of your ADRs but if you really want to try it you can call the day before and then you know you'll have a table when you show up.

Re: Big River Grill and Brewing Works at Boardwalk

We ate there during a Christmas week WDW trip and our party of seven was seated with 15 minutes. The food was good and the brews also.

I second that. We ate there in December of '05 and it was terrific. The meatloaf is unlike anything I've ever had before. It's THAT good.

Not by my experience. Although it's possible that we weren't able to do it through Disney. I think we called them directly.

In any case, we definately had advanced reservations.

And the beer selection is great. We all tried something different. I think they also have a "taster" choice on the beer menu. It's like 6 shots of beer.

Re: Big River Grill and Brewing Works at Boardwalk

My mistake. They don't honor Disney Dining Experience discount. I paid out of pocket to horde the table meal for the next day. sorry.
